Playing Elvis's "A Little Less Conversation" to kick off his show. Blago says, "Good morning, this is former governor Rod Blagojevich. How are you? This is a time for more conversation and a little less action."

"It seemed like it was just yesterday that I was the governor of the 5th largest state in America," he began. "And now I'm here filling in the seat of Don Wade -- you can say I've achieved higher office."

Guests

8:12am -- Blago announces his guests on the morning's program. They include the reporter who appeared flummoxed last night when President Obama called on her -- ABC's Anne Compton.

DL Hughley, the comedian is also on the show. Remember he's got that CNN program which is getting canceled later this month. He got a lot of newsplay when he had GOP chief Michael Steele on the show. Remember? Steele said Limbaugh was incendiary and ugly and that he was not the de facto leader of the GOP and BOOM.

Jay Mariotti, the sports columnist and frequent guest on ESPN's Around the Horn will be joining Blago as well. This should be a great exchange.

Blago's hair

8:12am -- Blago wants to take some calls from listeners. But before he does, however, he has a conversation with the newsman and the meteorologist.

Blago: Let's take a call or two.
Newsman: Are those headphones going to mess up your hair?
Blago: I brought my brush.
Meteorologist: You brought the football?Blago: I'm not governor anymore, it is a smaller brush.

Blago: "I'm going to go off my plan for a second. I couldn't help but hear the news report of my successor talking about how great it is to work with Mike Madigan."

Blago: "I respectfully would say when he wants to raise your taxes by 50 percent, he's working for Mike Madigan and working against you, the taxpayer."

Blago: "Pat Quinn entered into a corrupt bargain with lawmakers. They had a sham impeachment process. I was hijacked from office. I didn't have a chance to prove I did nothing wrong. I wasn't allowed to call witnesses. This was a backroom deal."

Blago then talks about the waste of government that is happening under Quinn.

Here's some examples. Now he is reading off Illinois legislators who have two jobs -- calling them double-dippers. Making money not only as lawmakers but at government jobs.

"You have the power to change that" he tells listeners. "Call them."

"Politicians are surrounded by lobbyists. You don't have to take it," he said. One thing that politicians respond to is the voices of the people, he adds. "If you take the time to learn who your lawmakers are, you might be able to keep them from raising your taxes."

Goes to the phone

9:13am -- Blago takes a call from Patty. She's very supportive. Are they screening these calls?

"They were gunning for you from the "jump street," Patty says. Is that a saying?

"I miss being the governor, Blago says.

"The same thing that happened to you happened to President Clinton, Patty said. From the moment Clinton was in office there were people gunning for you," she says.

"You will be vindicated, Patty promises.

9:16am Takes a call from Jim from Aurora

"Why didn't you reveal the names of the double dippers beforehand?" Jim asks.

"I did," Blago responds.

Was it made as public?

"As much as it could. Hard to get the newspapers to cover everything."
